House GOP sending Obama a message on health repeal

Who cares? Again, the issue is not the CBO. It's the veracity of the data Congress gives it.

Oh no ya don't. The issue is the CBO and the fact that current GOP leadership praised them when the info helped their cause and now dismiss them when it isn't helpful. That's pure hypocrisy right there. If the veracity of the Congress providing the data were an issue, then why did Cantor cite the CBO's findings to boost Republican arguments against the HCR bill when the Dems were in control?
 
Begin the crusade to end authoritarian, job killing, socialist BS.

WASHINGTON – Eager to show who's now in charge, the House's new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address.

Though full repeal is a longshot — the House vote would be just the first, easiest step — they'll follow up with dozens of attempts to hack away at what they derisively call "Obamacare."

Obama repeated his assertion from Tuesday's State of the Union address that he was open to changes in the law, but would not refight the two-year battle to get it passed.

And he laughed at some of the most vitriolic attacks on the law.

"You may have heard once or twice that this is a job-crushing, granny-threatening, budget-busting monstrosity.

That's about how it's been portrayed by opponents,"
he said. "And that just doesn't match up to the reality. I mean this thing has been in place now for 10 months, all right?"

"Although U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers campaigned in the fall as an ardent opponent of the new health care law recently passed by Congress, she was not reticent about taking advantage of the health plan offered to members of Congress.

Appearing on a WPTF radio call-in show Monday, Ellmers was asked by a caller whether she intended to participate in "that luxury plan" offered to members of Congress.

Ellmers responded that she signed up for a Blue Cross, Blue Shield federal employees plan, one of the options offered to members of Congress.

"Unfortunately, being here in Washington is very expensive," Ellmers said. "Yes, we do have a salary, and we do have benefits. It costs a lot of money to be here. I've signed on to the private plan, just like so many in America are on. The benefit is available to me. People need to understand out there, it costs a lot of money to be here in Congress."

Ellmers, a nurse who is married to a physician, makes a congressional salary of $174,000 per year."
